Saddest Movie you've seen

[wyverary]

And it's probably why I began bringing home pretty much any dead animal I came across, just so I could bury it and put a little cross on top. If the people who live there now ever decide to dig up that part of the garden they might be in for quite a shock.

That's a really beautiful little thing, actually. I should start doing that.

Grave of the Fireflies was sad.

Man, I saw that movie once, and once was enough. Brilliant, but probably the most depressing thing I have ever witnessed. I cried and cried, and I probably cried for a few days after, too.

"The Music Never Stopped"...

"The Music Never Stopped"...

I neglected to share with all of you that it was listening to classical piano that brought me out of my original shell after I got my brain damaged...music was always my world and as I recovered,I found music for my phone that was special to my past and amassed a huge collection of songs(over 3500) for me that I listen to 24 hours a day...
The music never stops

"Message in a Bottle" absolutely destroyed my spirits for days. That was a long time ago though. More recently "Pan's Labyrinth" and "50 First Dates", actually, brought tears to me eyes. I was resentful after discovering how much better Adam Sandler is at making me cry than he is at telling decent jokes.

 

[Nitro]

I really connected with 50 First Dates as I still struggle with short term memory a bit and understood what it must have been like for the girl to remember none of it

Requiem For A Dream

Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is so incredibly sad. I also found The House of Flying Daggers really sad.

[Mr Allen]

ET: The Extra Terrestrial.

The bit where he "dies" on the Operating table still gets me every time 35 years on. And the bit in the original Lion King where Mufasa dies, why did they always have to have a part in the old school Disney movies where something like that happens?! SO sad.

 

[Shiznown]

The King and I. It was so sad, that when they made us watch it in school, I would of rather been doing an essay.

 

[Shiznown]

Which version? I'm only familiar with the Yule Brenner version, which I don't recall being sad. The remake might be a different story.

I was being sarcastic. I just really disliked the movie.

 

[Shiznown]

Why can't schools such exciting classic film, like Jason and the Argonauts!?

 

[Mr Allen]

Why can't schools such exciting classic film, like Jason and the Argonauts!?

Too violent.

Although in my day they did show stuff like Kes, To Sir With Love and Billy Liar amongst other good old movies, our old English teacher had good taste in movies.

 

[Mr Allen]

The King and I. It was so sad, that when they made us watch it in school, I would of rather been doing an essay.

You probably did both, watched the movie and then did an essay on it

Surely one of the saddest scenes in movies. The heartbreak of any civil war, turning friends and families into enemies. When Confederate General Armistead is mortally wounded and wants to convey his deep sorrow to his close friend Union General Hancock.

What do you consider to be the saddest movie you've seen?

Voyage of the Damned it's sad when a young Jewish woman and the German Steward both kill themselves and I've they have just become a couple

 

[Jet Weiss]

Marley & Me was probably the saddest one I've ever seen, I was a mess for days afterwards
Where the Red Fern Grows (had to watch it in school, I excused myself from the room because I was sobbing)
Click- I know it was meant to be a comedy but it was so messed up
My Sister's Keeper was also quite sad
Of Mice and Men, that should be self-explanatory, another one I had to watch in school

Basically anything where a dog dies or anything that has a sad ending will really mess me up.

 

[Aeolienne]

Cry Freedom, The Perfect Storm or West Side Story. Especially the latter - it must be Bernstein's use of the tritone.

[spoiler alert] Also there's a scene in The Full Monty (yes really!) that brings a lump to my throat. That scene when Gerald comes home to find that the bailiffs have repossessed the house, and only then does his wife discover the secret he's been keeping from her all this time.

On that note, I should also mention the funeral scene of Four Weddings and a... This film was groundbreaking in its time by portraying a gay man dying of something other than Aids.

As Simon Callow's character said, bloody Brigadoon!

 

[Flinty]

The Remains of the Day.

I have never identified with a fictional character as much as I do with Stevens.
